I'm reinstalling FreeBSD-2.1.0-RELEASE, using the ftp install option
over my PPP connection.  Everything went swimmingly until /sbin/clri
showed up on virtual terminal 2.  Nothing has changed in the hour
since /sbin/clri was extracted so far as I can tell.  Can I wake the
install process back up?  Can I cleanly abort and restart?  I was
hoping to get this reinstall done tonight, but if I can't get it going
again ...
